One of her proudest accomplishments was the “Grandma–Grandpa” bowling tournament, covering teams from four states, which just completed its 31styear of success.  She managed to work on all levels of the local bowling organizations and ultimately became president of the Mississippi Women’s Bowling Association and president of the Alabama-Mississippi Bowling Proprietors Association from 2010-2016. She enjoyed yard and garden, bowling, golf with Jess, cooking for family and friends, especially her niece and nephew. She was a most loving and caring person to her family, friends and any cat or dog that needed a home or attention. She recently worked for Allen Petroleum Services as a lease preparer and ancestry researcher.
She was a lifelong member of Trinity Episcopal Church, having served on a number of committees and as a member of the Trinity Vestry.
